We went through the Salt River Canyon. There are roads from 260 outside of Greer that go to Big Lake with very little traffic, if any. We may have seen three or four vehicles. The road from 260 to Big Lake is 20 miles of fairly new roads that winds from 7000' to over 9000'.
BTW... my favorite drive in Az is morenci to Alpine. Very nice!

The car looks great George! You should get it professionally detailed and take some quality photos of it, and then change your Rennlist avatar too.

Very cool George. I'm going to be down in Phoenix for a wedding next week and the girlfriend has a photo shoot with Aziani.com. If I get a chance I'd love to see it. Depending on how time is I'll get in touch. Right now it doesn't look good but you never know.

Ask Sean about my offroad vehicle. It's an amazing ride, but usually dirty. Sean post up about our offroad trips.......Lexus actually made a better differential after towing my 470 three times from Greer under warranty. At least that is what the letter states. Those Toyota folks know how to make an amazing offroad SUV and take care of their customers.
I'll take some pictures of the car tomorrow and update my avatar.
Rolex, what is the status of your car?

Car looks awesome George. I too am relishing in my new 3.0l. The power band is crazy. From start to finish the car is just insane.
What size wheels and tires are you running. It's time for me to go larger in the rear.

People are still spending money on their rides. We have been busier then we ever have. Its wierd because alot of shops in our area are closing the doors and calling it quits and we are taking appointments and are two months booked up. I guess those that do good work,will remain in business and those that dont,will be forced out of business.
And I need to ship something to you Patrick. Did you want one of those coolant tanks too? Let me know.

I'll pipe in on behalf of Sean -- he's currently in Michigan visiting some friends. His car is beautiful in person -- very well-done. And, it's fast. So much usable power. Had my car not, er, been totaled, I was looking to buy the same turbo he acquired from Tial. IIRC it's a GT30 (not GT35) w/ custom stainless steel hotside. Ball bearing. Yes, a bit smaller than what we normally see, but it works great on the 2.5L motor.
Oh and his black mirrors are due to the mirror bras he's got on 'em.

I get the 3.X ltr guys. They have a bunch more grunt, down low; but on a 2.5, I prefer a compromise towards quick spool over dyno #'s.
